It might surprise you that as a student journalist, there are many days where I don’t want to read the news. If that also sounds like you — journalist or not — this is my way of saying you’re not alone.

Each goal we score is like a shot of serotonin and each goal we concede feels like a bullet straight through my heart. In recent years, I have been shattered by bullets.
Take yourself back to your highschool years: homecoming, football games and making new friends. From prom to the stress of finals all ending with a bittersweet feeling associated with graduating — highschool is a huge period of growth for many people.
You’ve probably seen the headlines for how many tickets were sold at the box office for “Barbie,” or how much revenue Taylor Swift is expected to take in from her Eras Tour. But what about headlines like these:

It’s 12:30 p.m. on Friday, which means that it is class time for many students. However, for the students in MUS 235: Finding Your Voice, the start of class looks different than a traditional class. They begin by laying on yoga mats set on the floor, honing in on their breathing and getting in tune with their body. This sets the mood for the rest of class and helps the students let go of their stress.
